This would make a good TIL. Timely too, because of the housing/rental shortage. Modified, I can see this working in some cities.
For TL:DW,
These are simple apartment buildings built over parking spaces for residents that became popular after WWII. They commonly replaced single family homes, and were the most common type of new apartment building in Southern California until building codes and earthquake regulations made them illegal to build.
Stuff like this is why LA has a reputation for being “suburban” yet always surprises people by showing up higher than expected on lists of densest cities near the urban core.
I lived in LA for two years, that was enough. Videos like this give me ptsd.
I caught this last night, found it interesting. The mid-century exterior decor looks cool on some.
Lol’d when I saw one had signage naming it “[Crapi Apartments](https://thevinton.com/2014/01/12/the-crapi-apartments/)”.
99pi just did an episode on these too.
People trying to live within their means in these glorified shanties, meanwhile the landlord must be raking in $1.5-$2k per tenant.
My main connection to Dingbats is Cousin Floyd’s place in GTA 5…
I don’t understand ‘parking requirements’? Why force buildings to have lots parking?
I could understand it outside of a city with public transport, but it you live within a blocks of a bus stop?
Man, 2k subscribers and quality like this? *And* more videos? *And* it was recently updated? Hell yes.
Love finding rare gold channels like this.
Redundancies to make a 1 minutes video into over 10 is appalling. Stop making videos please.
